ADVANCED INSTALLS LEADING-EDGE AV SOLUTIONS IN NEW TECHTOWN FACILITY COLUMBIA LAKE HEALTH CLUB IN WATERLOO

ABOUT COLUMBIA LAKE

Columbia Lake Health Club is an independently owned and operated, state-of-the-art full-service fitness facility located in Waterloo, Ontario. The club was created to meet the needs identified by many of Waterloo’s top TechTown employers including RIM, Open Text, Sybase, Miller Thomson, The University of Waterloo and Communitech.  Each of these impressive organizations contributed their ideas to the planning of Columbia Lake Health Club and the TechTown facility.

THE ADVANCED SOLUTION

Opening in early 2007 in the middle of Waterloo’s Research & Technology Park, the founders of Columbia Lake Health Club wanted a state-of-the-art facility that would stand out from other recreational and fitness facilities in the area and epitomize the nature of TechTown.

The Club turned to the experts at Advanced to design and install an innovative, integrated AV system throughout the facility with primary installation within the main entrance and atrium, cardio mezzanine, women’s-only area, spin room, aerobics room, palates room and all change rooms.

Each space within the facility required an AV solution customized to the focus of the respective area. A facility-wide paging system and complete AV rack were also installed to keep guests up-to-date on upcoming events and important announcements. The main entrance features multiple Toshiba LCD displays and Extron VGA transmitter/receivers to provide visually-stunning displays both guests and staff can enjoy. The larger cardio mezzanine features 7 ceiling-mounted Toshiba LCD displays and Broadcast Vision FM transmitters and the women’s-only area features another 3 Toshiba displays to keep guests engaged during workouts. The spin, aerobics and palates rooms all include independent audio systems that also help to boost morale and keep workouts energized.
